Christian's Pre-school Graduation...........

 We are so proud of Christian! He has worked so hard this year and has done so well in pre-school! In the beginning he was super shy with his teachers and friends and by the end of the year he was shouting out answers and could at least answer his teachers if they asked him a question. But he had a great little group of friends. It was so fun to see him interact and talk with them.

 I wish I could post the video on here of this song...but he has some of his dad in him for sure. He was shaking and moving his leg around and couldn't keep still while singing this song. He was on beat and be-bopping along. It was hilarious! It was awesome to see him really get into and actually sing and dance along!

 Getting his diploma from teacher Jen. Teacher Jen and teacher Season got a kick out of Christian. They also said he followed the rules and was so kind and helpful to the other kids in class. He would encourage them if they were having a hard time or needed help. It was fun for them to try to get him to smile or grin because he wouldn't say much. He knows all his letters and sounds and has even started learning some sight words.....next stop learning to read! He is great with math...adding and subtracting numbers already. And he is pretty good at writing his own name. He has learned a lot and will definitely be ready for kindergarten next year! WAY TO GO CHRISTIAN!!

Julia's 1st recital..........

 Julia started taking piano lessons in January and has loved it. She is a fast learning and picks up the music quickly. She has a fabulous teacher that knows just how much work to give her and just how much to push her. She takes 3 lessons per week and then on the 4th week they have a group class where they play a piece in front of the group to work on playing in front of people (genius!) And then they also talk about a different composer each month, what type of music they played/composed and interesting things about them. Her teacher gets them excited about music!
Julia did a fantastic job. She said she was a little nervous playing in front of so many people but she did great. She played and played her piece at home constantly and really did have it memorized. It was Winnie the Pooh, a Disney classic. It was also great to hear all her students play and to see what level they were at. We look forward to Julia continuing on with lessons and getting even better! Way to go Julia!
